It is rumored that Lionel Messi and Paris Saint-Germain will sign a one-year contract extension this week.
After the season, Messi’s current contract will expire, and there have been rumors about where he might play football in the upcoming season.
While there were rumors that David Beckham’s Inter Miami were close to bringing the Argentine great to the MLS, there had been strong links with a return to previous club Barcelona.

However, Messi promised PSG last month that he would sign a new contract with them.
PSG had been interested in keeping Messi in Paris from the start of the current campaign and had made him an offer.
Messi made an emotional transition from Barcelona to PSG in 2021. Messi scored 11 goals in 34 games during his rookie campaign, but it took him some time to feel at home with the club even though the French team won the Ligue 1 title again.
The World Cup winner, who scored 12 goals in 19 games prior to the World Cup break, has already outperformed his performances and statistics from the previous year.
The new contract demonstrates Messi’s desire to remain in a top league in Europe and enables PSG to brag about the continuous presence of the World Cup hero from last month as one of their marquee players.
After his World Cup exploits this month, Messi is anticipated to return to PSG, where he ironically might reignite his bitter rivalry with Cristiano Ronaldo.
The Riyadh Season Cup, which pits PSG against Ronaldo’s new team Al-Nassr and Al-Hilal, is scheduled to take place in Saudi Arabia.
